Elad Barzilai, the teacher who was fatally injured in the riots in Acre last May, ended his rehabilitation period today (Wednesday) at the Levinstein Rehabilitation Medical Center in Raanana.

Barzilai has been treated for the past six months in the Department of Brain Injury Rehabilitation and has received treatment from a multidisciplinary team from the fields of medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, communication, psychology and social work.

He has been released to his home and will continue the rehabilitation process within the community in the northern region.

"I came here when I was not walking, not eating, not talking and with a lot of Sisyphean work and together with the whole multidisciplinary team in Levinstein I was able to come back to life," Barzilai said.

"Even though I'm happy to be back at my house today, I'll always have a warm corner in my heart for Levinstein. It's a place I will never forget for the rest of my life."

Dr. Keren Kismerio-Potash, the doctor who treated Elad, notes: "Elad is released when he is already walking on his own, manages to convey a media message and there is a significant improvement in his cognitive functions.

"Elad's rehabilitation is not over yet and he has another way to do it, but thanks to his hard work and high motivation, along with significant support from his family and the work of the teams, he has undergone an impressive and extraordinary rehabilitation process."
